Each student will be creating a de Chirico-inspired perspective piece using their learned 1 pt. perspective skills. Prior to beginning the final project students will be required to complete a 1 pt. Perspective Shapes Worksheet and will be introduced to the artwork of George de Chirico to use as their inspiration.

Assignment:Step 1: The class will review a PPT on 1 Pt Perspective basics. (How-to, vocabulary, materials, etc.) The students complete a graphic organizer during the presentation.

Step 2: Students will complete a 1 Pt Perspective Shapes Practice Worksheet. I also have the students create a light source and apply value to their shapes as a review and we discuss perspective shading.

Step 3: The class will be introduced to the artwork of George de Chirico
